Spraydekor

Hiya guys i was looking thorugh my Animal House catalogue and saw this product:



"SPRAYDEKOR is a unique aerosol foam for modeling and creating backgrounds, aquascapes, scenery and caves for aquariums and vivariums. The foam scene is created outside the aquarium or vivarium, and can then be as intricately detailed as you desire. SPRAYDEKOR is useful for hiding aquarium equipment such as internal filters and uplift tubes. SPRAYDEKOR can be covered in gravel before it has dried for an authentic look. Your creation can then be silicone sealed into place. A 500 ml canister will cover 1.5 metres at one inch thickness. Full instructions are included. SPRAYDEKOR is inert, non-toxic and will not leach any toxic compounds into fresh or salt water"

I have seen a similar product used (Fossa, S. Nilsen, A., 1996. The modern coral reef aquarium. Volumn 1. Birgit Schmettkamp Verlang, Germany) on page 117, 156 and 157.

Was just wondering how long it takes to set etc

and whether any of you guys would use it in your tank for any thing?

Man what will they think of next i personally wouldnt even consider putting that in my tank. I wouldnt take there word as gospel that it wont leach. You couldnt test for the compounds that it could leach into your system.i wouldnt advise anyone to go there at all.

yeah but you have to remember that to sell it as no leaching it will have to have gone through tests!?!
